Spare Parts Surgery For Oncologic Reconstruction To Preserve Local Advancement Flap For Decubitus Ulcer Reconstruction: A Case Report, Emily Zurbuchen, Nathan Foje, Sean Figy
Spare Parts Surgery For Oncologic Reconstruction To Preserve Local Advancement Flap For Decubitus Ulcer Reconstruction: A Case Report, Emily Zurbuchen, Nathan Foje, Sean Figy
Graduate Medical Education Research Journal
A 58-year-old male presented to our institution with synchronous large left thigh sarcoma and sacral decubitus ulcer requiring oncologic resection and reconstruction. Due to extensive tumor involvement, use of local flap for reconstruction was not feasible. Therefore, a spare parts free fillet flap from the disarticulated lower leg was utilized for reconstruction following oncologic resection. The benefits of this spare parts approach include no donor site morbidity, sufficient tissue padding for later use of prosthesis, and preservation of other flaps for future reconstruction of his sacral decubitus ulcer.

Background:
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory cutaneous disorder that is thought to be due to innate immune system dysfunction, specifically of neutrophils. PG has been well documented in patients with autoimmune disorders like Ulcerative Colitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. PG can also present in surgical patients, imitating a potential wound infection and necrotizing fasciitis. Although PG is a diagnosis of exclusion, prompt recognition is essential to attaining desired aesthetic outcomes, especially with breast involvement. We present a case series of four patients who developed PG following breast surgery. We analyze each patient’s medical history, symptoms, wound progression and management …
